First, though, the cygcheck output would be nice, and it would be nice to know if there are any other programs than Bash that have this problem..? I have the same problem, attached is my cygcheck output. In csh on cygwin I get no output at all. All is correct in ash on cygwin. NOT

OK, from the responses I got (and the code I looked at) I gather that my initial hunch has a good chance of being correct: this is not a Cygwin-specific problem and is likely to be located in the readline library. I'll be wrapping up an experimental version of Bash for the interested to try out
